Deas Vail – Birds chords

Intro: G#m  F#

Verse 1:
G#mThis is our true alarm. This is reality. 
F#We will do what we can. 
G#mWe are just figurines with a theology 
F#that we don’t understand. 

Pre-Chorus:
D#m                        We can’t forget the 
Bbeginning, when He
C#set our broken wings. 

Chorus:
D#mGod, how much does it 
Btake for us to be 
F#loved? For us to be 
C#saved? We all are 
D#mbirds stuck inside our 
Bcage, covered up with
F#praise. And behind our
C#saints we hide our
D#mface. Oh, the numbers 
Bcome. Yeah, they’re dialing
F#in. We can’t
G#m (?)
help but to comp-
C#are ourselves again. 

Break:
G#m  F#

Verse 2:
G#mI can’t believe in this—this blue-lipped, lifeless kiss. 
F#And we can’t see past our thrones. 
G#mWe fight for life within, but our walls are wearing thin. 
F#Oh God, where have we gone? 

Pre-Chorus:
D#mWhen I’m just one fighting in-
Bdifference, does it 
C#mmatter what I say? 

Chorus:
D#mGod, how much does it 
Btake for us to be 
F#loved? For us to be 
C#saved? We all are 
D#mbirds stuck inside our 
Bcage, covered up with
F#praise. And behind our
C#saints we hide our
D#mface. Oh, the numbers 
Bcome. Yeah, they’re dialing
F#in. We can’t
G#m (?)
help but to comp-
C#are ourselves again. 

Outro:
G#m  F#  G#m  F#

G#mIt’s not that there were ever bad
F#intentions— it’s
G#mmore that we forgot where to call
F#home. From im-
G#mportant things that we don’t know to 
F#mention, it’s the 
G#muniform that we put on—the 
F#formula we have for 

C#7/E  D#m   G#m   F#   C#m7  D#m  G#m  F#love

G#mBeautiful 
F#intentions
C#m7/EFormula for 
D#mlove

G#mIt’s not that there were ever bad
